In Revelation 3:16, the aorist active infinitive occurs after the speaker's response to someone described as lukewarm and neither hot nor cold; the APB renders the clause "I am about to vomit you out of my mouth."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Revelation 3:16, the APB presents the action as "vomit you out of my mouth." This rendering confirms the clause's overall picture rather than isolating each element of the Greek form.
